“Epitaph” was inspired by my late uncle who was in the Navy during WW2. I wrote this song to honor all of our brave men and women who went to war healthy and strong and returned home changed forever."

Never was one for talking                                                                                                                         On his own                                                                                                         All I got was a hi and a goodbye                                                                                 On the telephone
We knew him as the quiet one                                                                  Didn’t mind being alone                                                                      Gambled away all his nights and days                                                                                           A rolling stone             
I never knew the demons                                                                                          He kept deep inside                                                                                                      I only knew the honor he wore                                                                                                    With pride 
Bugle cry                                                                                                            Atone                                                                                                                  Carry him home, carry him home 
Never was one for talking                                                                                                                         A rolling stone                                                                                                                 Bugle cry soar on high                                                                                  Bring him home
Bugle cry soar on high, bring him home                                                Bring him home                                                                                               Bring him home
